Timer/thermometer/clock
« on: May 15, 2002, 04:03:00 AM »
ran across this while looking in a world's foremost outfitters catalog sounds like it might have some uses for swim......
 
this timer incorporates a thermometer and clock all in one easy to use unit the thermometer utilizes a large LCD readout to display the inner temperture.

It has a range of 14 .f to 392.f with a high /low and inside the range programable alarm to alert you when you have reached your desired temperture .

also has a 24 hr countdown timer and countup stopwatch that can be used independently. 

It has a 36 inch stainless steel probe and wire... runs on a single AAA battery .. runs about 25 US dollars .


 would the stainless probe be ok to use ?

It depends on what you are going to dip it in.

It depends on what you are going to dip it in. Stainless is not good in very acidic or basic solutions.

Put the probe into a xmall glastube(closed at one end) like an NMR tube or something like that. a drop off oil into the glasstub will do the heathtransfer. Works greath (and when you break the glass you throw it away)
